  • A supermarket near me has reorganised and they’ve had to put up signs telling people where everything now is. So what was the point in reorganising it?

    I think there should be legal definitions of where things are and what aisles they’re on. I don’t understand why sometimes eggs are considered dairy and other times they’re in a completely different part of the store. I actually don’t care which one they pick but I would like all supermarkets to be consistent. One place near me that has a dairy aisle, for all dairy except yogurts, which are on a neighbouring aisle. Every time I want some cheese I always go down the yoghurt aisle and get lost.



  • I bought a new water filter today I’m very pleased with it as it’s slightly different to the previous filter.

    But yes I’ve definitely become a lot more interested in Tupperware then I would have previously thought possible. I think that’s just because when I was a kid things just happened, and now I actually have to make them happen I realise how convenient it is to have storage containers rather than just putting bowls and plates in the fridge and messing around with crappy plastic film.

    This is why it’s absolutely ridiculous that Google automatically has AI answer search queries. One time I searched the serial number of a washing machine and the AI came back and said something along the lines of, this looks like a serial number for some sort of product. Yeah thanks for that.

    I don’t necessarily have a problem with AI although I think it’s going to kill the economy, my biggest issue is AI being stuffed into everything in situations where it doesn’t make sense.


  • How do they know this? How can you tell what an ostrich is thinking, because every interaction I’ve ever had with an ostrich, which is admittedly is limited, has always led me to believe that thinking is not something they do an awful lot of. Mindlessly attacking everyone insight is more their modus operandi


  • What did he farm the ostriches for, eggs?

    I grew up on a farm and there was a family in our area and they used to have peacocksz but I’m pretty sure they were just there the visual interest because I don’t think they were actually part of the farm stock. I always assumed that people kept ostriches for pretty much the same reason, because honestly they are pain to deal with. I certainly don’t think I’ve ever really seen ostrich eggs being particularly high in demand.




  • Especially in the US, the average person doesn’t like the idea of someone getting something that they’re personally not receiving. So framing it as a compensation that everyone receives regardless of employment status I think is the only feasible way forward.

    Universal basic income is supposed to be irrespective of employment status already. That’s what the “Universal” bit means.

    Any work that you do you get compensated on top of UBI, that way it allows for things like working half the week and using UBI to top up your finances, companies could employ you two and a half days a week and another person the other two and a half days a week with each person getting a week’s worth of pay thanks to UBI, the company doesn’t have to pay out anymore, you get the same amount of money as you did before and you’ve increased the job market by 200 times. It’s a win-win-win situation.

    The problem is framing UBI as a welfare benefit, when really that’s not how it’s supposed to be understood.
